IN ST. PETERSBURG, RUSSIA, A FEW TEAMS MUST OVERCOME THEIR FEARS AS THEY ARE FACED WITH SOME OF THE TOUGHEST CHALLENGES YET,ON "THE AMAZING RACE 5," TUESDAY, JULY 27"Who Says Pageant Girls Donít Eat" -- Eight teams make their way from Argentina to St. Petersburg, Russia, where an eating challenge turns out to be a major obstacle for a few of the teams, on THE AMAZING RACE 5, Tuesday, July 27 (10:00-11:00 PM, ET/PT) on the CBS Television Network. Phil Keoghan is the host of the series.

A rivalry is born when one team rudely interrupts another team while they are trying to get some travel information. Meanwhile, several teams decide to work together, but after getting ahead, one team becomes impatient with the group and slips away to try to move forward on their own. Thanks to the stubbornness of one Racer who insists on taking advice from some clueless locals, one team finds themselves lost and wandering aimlessly in the freezing cold. After taking a commanding lead over the other teams, one duo is stopped in their tracks when faced with the task of eating a gut-wrenching amount of caviar.

the previews showed C/M at airport and the brothers and the brothers said they do not like them.† I think the brothers interupt the girls.

Didn't a couple of then say they were afraid of heigths so they did the chips.† One of the moms did the challenge but was afraid of heights and I one of the girls in the guy/girl combo.

Gut wrenching caviar ~ I am thinking Twins.† We know Mirna does not eat meat (said so when she was carring the cow).† Charla would do it to prove herself ~ Jim is an army guy they eat anything ~ pagent girls I am sure have ahd cavier before† ~the borthers well need I say more and I think Chip will eat it.

Teams working together ~ the two models?? bowling moms with C/M?† not C/K with the k/K

† †Minor Spoilers from CBS's Eye on American show-------------------------------------------------------------------------------- I was on an American Airlines flight today and imagine my surprise when I look at the plane's microscopic TV screens and see the best reality TV host ever, Phil K..He is presenting this month's CBS segments in the "Eye on American" show, and obviously he won't do it for nothing. He repeteadly mentioned that The Amazing Race started this month, and twenty minutes into the show there was a 2- minute promo of the show. At first, it was a trip down memory lane. Rob and Brennan celebrating their win. Teri and Ian in Vietnam. Flo whining. Oh, yes. Thas was fun.But on to the juicy stuff. There were several scenes from the new season that haven't been shown, or perhaps I have blinked and not seen them. I'm sure you all will correct me if that is the case. Here they are:- One of the twins looking very scared and crying her eyes out during a challenge that looked just like one of next week's tasks. However, she was alone. - The bowling mom's in a small sedan at night, running into the mud and commenting that now they know how Mario Andretti feels.- the fat brothers quickly changing a flat tire. They were alone. - when Phil was describing the "Yield", there was a quick shot of a blonde in a ponytail and pink sleeveless top stepping into the yield mat. Honestly, I'm not sure if it was a twin or Mirna.Then there is a shot of Karen with a worried look, holding a yield card, and her voiceover said "This wait is excrutiating". It seems that a team used the Yield on the bowling moms at some point. ______________________________________________________________________________gremlinkingRegistered UserPosts: 536(7/16/04 9:19 am)Reply† †Re: TAR5 Ep2 - Offical Clues and Other Teasers-------------------------------------------------------------------------------- These are just guesses

Quote:--------------------------------------------------------------------------------Two Teams form an alliance, and when one duo gets stuck, their allies help. When the tables are turned, will the favor be returned, or will the alliance be betrayed? --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

There is speculation that Marshall and Lance's flat tire incident, featured in pre-show commercials, happens during this episode. If that's the case, maybe they are one of the teams in the alliance and are helping / being helped with the flat tire.

Quote:--------------------------------------------------------------------------------Faced with a harrowing task, one Racer is paralyzed by fear and declares, "I can't do it"--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

This is probably the parachute task featured in the screencap above, and, considering history, It's probably CBS overhype and possibly that team member does do the task.

Quote:--------------------------------------------------------------------------------One frustrated Team struggles with a task while other Teams fly past them. Will this mean elimination? --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

There's the chocolate task with the cap of Charla eating, which I am 99% sure is the task that the producers called the oompa loopa task in Entertainment Weekly, I'm sure that this is being milked for entertainment value for all its worth, and is the reason why Charla and Mirna are being hyped this week.

------------------

The description of TAR episode 4 says "8 racers," so Episode 3 is an elimination round.

However, the level of sucking at Mediiia Whore this season is the most amazing thing other than the race. Over one hundred thought Rex would have 30 or more illegitimate children, yet only 10 people joined that league to bring it's grand total to 15. Mediiia Whore tries to give you free points and you blow it. Come on people get with the program! This might be a hint to cancel the surprise twists this season.
